BA Distance Education (Bachelor of Arts)
To define distance education, we can begin by understanding the meaning of the words distance and education. Distance can be understood as something or someone that is far or away and can be measured in kilometers or miles. Whereas education encompasses, holistic development through learning to read and write. Education plays a crucial part in shaping a person’s personality or image and is important to gain a means of livelihood. Therefore the terms distance and education mean, education from a distance. But how is that possible, one might ask?
With the development and progress in the education system, the government in collaboration with educational institutes has come up with a means to provide education to students who are working professionals, businessmen, housewives, and cannot attend physical mode classes on regular basis. In a distance education degree, study materials of the particular subjects, chosen by the students are shared with them through mail or post and by online mode. The students get all the relevant and required texts and notes at their doorstep. As soon as the material is sent, the students can begin their distance education course.
